1. It is NOT your job to pander to whatever nonsense the voters have been told that they should want. As soon as you let the leftist media and academia define the terms of the debate, you have already lost.
Instead, it is your job to follow in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan by EDUCATING your constituents about which policies make sense and which don’t, and WHY this is so.
That is the difference between a venal political hack and a statesman.
2. Islam is NOT a religion in any sense of the word that America’s founders understood a religion to be. Instead, it is an expansionist, enemy, totalitarian political ideology that is very much akin to National Socialism (Nazism), and that seeks to rid the world of everything but itself.
Be ready to deal with Islam much as we dealt with Nazism seven decades ago – except more thoroughly this time around.
3. The Constitution is intended to limit the power and activities of the government. Respect those limits, and stop looking for loopholes.
4. Socialism violates the US Constitution. If you genuinely believe that socialism is a good thing, then put your money where your mouth is, drop out of the US political scene, and move to North Korea.
5. Be prepared to re-evaluate all government programs and actions. If you, or your predecessors, have made a policy error, be a big enough person to admit it, and to do whatever is necessary to roll it back and reverse it completely.
